Though school districts across the country are ramping up to create new policies that follow a directive from the Obama administration that allows transgender students at public schools to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity, some Greater Lowell administrators say their districts have been allotting such rights to students for years.

"From what I'm seeing and hearing, I think a lot of transgender people are using the restrooms for what they identify with, and we have no idea," said Alisa Chapman, director of compliance and Title IX coordinator at Middlesex Community College.

Don't you wish those who run around claiming the "sky is falling, the world is ending, the apocalypse is upon us" would just listen to those schools, cities and states where open bathroom policies have been in effect for years and realize it is all much ado about nothing. Sigh)
